Nobel Laureate 2000 Gao Xingjian And His Novel Soul Mountain, Mabel Lee

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her article, "Nobel Laureate 2000 Gao Xingjian and his Novel Soul Mountain," Mabel Lee introduces Gao Xingjian, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature of 2000. Lee is the translator of several of Gao's works from the Chinese into English, including the Nobel's main text of reference, Soul Mountain (first published in Chinese in 1990).

The Hazard Of Hidden Interactions: A Reanalysis Of Designs In Reaction-Time Studies On Metaphor, Johan F. Hoorn

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In his article, "The Hazard of Hidden Interactions: A Reanalysis of Designs in Reaction-Time Studies on Metaphor," Johan F. Hoorn argues that research designs in empirical literature and the psychology of aesthetics often include unanalyzed factors. The nature of these factors may be linguistic such as word frequency or lexical ambiguity or technical such as presentation order, repeated measures, etc. By not correctly analyzing an experiment, higher-order interactions may go unnoticed, while interfering with results. Hoorn reviews a sample of reaction-time experiments on metaphors, some of which are considered key studies in the area. Because the quality of an argument …

Thematizing The Subject From Gothicism To Late Romanticism, Slobodan Sucur

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In "Thematizing the Subject from Gothicism to Late Romanticism," Slobodan Sucur takes Habermas's suggestion that "modern art reveals its essence in Romanticism; and absolute inwardness determines the form and content of Romantic art" and offers an analysis of a spectrum of primary texts in relation to the statement. The texts analysed range from Walpole’s The Castle of Otranto to Odoyevsky’s Russian Nights. The texts are analyzed in chronological fashion, in an attempt to see how the thematization of the subject shifts as the Early Gothic novel (Walpole, Radcliffe) develops into High Romanticism (Hoffmann, Maturin) and finally into Late Romanticism (Poe, …

從童話功能考察金庸武俠小說的敘事特色, Chun To Lau

Lingnan Theses

金庸武俠小說崛起於五六十年代的香港，旋即引起追讀熱潮。時至今日，它在海內外的學術界、傳播媒介依然享有巨大的號召力，秘密是甚麼呢？

金庸小說作為一種敘事文學，小說本身的敘事手法必然是很值得探討的課題。這篇論文就是從情節和人物的安排入手，研究金庸小說的敘事特色。

分析工具是俄國文學理論家普羅普（Vladimir Propp）的「童話功能」。他在《民間故事形態學》（Morphology of the Folktale）中，用一百個俄國童話作例子，證明俄國童話的內容儘管變化多端，但都是由三十一個功能按固定次序排列而成。此外，圍繞七組不同的功能，他又發現了七組人物。本文選取了金庸的八部長篇小說作研究對象，用普羅普的方法研究金庸小說的敘事特色。

論文分四個部分。第一章是緒論篇：先劃定研究的範圍，再探討武俠小說和童話的關係，然後概述普羅普的理論和學界對它的評價。第二章是應用篇：參照普羅普的理論，為八部小說勾勒可供比較的功能序列，並把主要的角色分成七類人物。第三章 是分析篇：分析功能的排列方式，並統計功能的出現次數，從而找出小說情節的基本結構和獨特趣味；另外，就上一章的人物分類，闡釋七種人物的異同。第四章是結論篇：最後就以上分析總結金庸小說的敘事手法，初步探討它吸引大量讀者的某些原因。

本論文希望排除個人的價值趣味和作品以外的社會因素，踏實、客觀地透視金庸小說的敘事特色，期望能成為金學研究的有機部分。

The Ethics Of Placebo-Controlled Trials In Developing Countries To Prevent Mother-To-Child Transmission Of Hiv, John N. Williams

Research Collection School of Social Sciences

Placebo-trials on HIV-infected pregnant women in developing countries like Thailand and Uganda have provoked recent controversy. Such experiments aim to find a treatment that will cut the rate of vertical transmission more efficiently than existing treatments like zidovudine. This scenario is first stated as generally as possible, before three ethical principles found in the Belmont Report, itself a sharpening of the Helsinki Declaration, are stated. These three principles are the Principle of Utility, the Principle of Autonomy and the Principle of Justice. These are taken as voices of moral imperative. But although each has intuitive appeal, it can be shown …

Naipaul's A Bend In The River And Neo-Colonialism As A Comparative Context, Haidar Eid

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In his article, "Naipaul's A Bend in the River and Neo-colonialism as a Comparative Context," Haidar Eid discusses the dialectical interplay between the political import and aesthetic qualities in Naipaul's novel. It contests Naipaul's conclusion that "Third World" peoples are not genuine and authentic human beings, like Westerners. Further, Naipaul's implication that political and social disorder is the unavoidable product of contemporary liberation movements, and that Africans are nothing and with no place in the world, are challenged and deconstructed. The independence of Third World countries, according to Naipaul, eliminates the last hope of resistance to ignorance, as well as …

A Comparative Post-Colonial Approach To Hedayat's The Blind Owl, Yasamine C. Coulter

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her article, "A Comparative Post-Colonial Approach to Hedayat's The Blind Owl," Yasamine C. Coulter discusses post-colonial theories of Edward Said, Frantz Fanon, and Jalal ale Ahmad, and relates them to the major themes of Hedayat's novel. For the most part, the fact that the text's narrator is disillusioned with his country's traditional way of life makes him an outsider within his own society. However, he fails to find peace in his other, chosen, mode of being and this implies that he is unable to fully identify with Western traditions, either. It is at this point of the text that …
